In embodiment which concerns on this invention, it is a figure which shows a pillow. In embodiment which concerns on this invention, it is a figure which shows a mode when a user sleeps using a pillow.

  Embodiments according to the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Below, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the same element in all the drawings, and the overlapping description is abbreviate | omitted. In the description in the text, the symbols described before are used as necessary.

  FIG. 1 is a view showing a pillow 10, FIG. 1 (a) is a perspective view of the pillow 10, and FIG. 1 (b) is a rear view of the pillow 10 viewed from the direction of arrow A in FIG. 1 (a). It is. FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating a situation when the user 2 sleeps using the pillow 10.

  The pillow 10 is a bedding for sleeping that can sleep comfortably and prevents a malfunction of the body such as stiff shoulders. The pillow 10 includes a pillow body 12 and a support 20. The pillow 10 is designed in consideration of “the angle of each part of the body”, “the weight of each part of the body”, and “the size of each part of the body”, and is a bedding that realizes a good sleep and a good sleep. The cover covering the pillow 10 is preferably made of a material that takes into consideration the quality such as touch and breathability and maintenance such as washing.

  The pillow main body portion 12 includes a material having flexibility such that the pillow main body portion 12 is deformed by the weight of the head 4 when the head 4 of the user 2 is placed. Moreover, the support part 20 is comprised including the material which has flexibility similarly to the pillow main-body part 12. FIG.

  As the material having flexibility, for example, high resilience urethane, low resilience urethane, high resilience fiber, latex, and the like can be used. Here, explanation is made assuming that latex is used.

  Synthetic latex and natural latex exist as latex, but natural latex is more preferable in consideration of durability and impact resilience. A plurality of pinholes are formed to increase the breathability of the latex. As a configuration for improving air permeability in addition to the pinhole, a protrusion shape of thorn may be formed.

  The pillow main body 12 has a substantially rectangular shape in plan view (top view), the length in the longitudinal direction is 500 mm, and the length in the lateral direction is 260 mm. The thickness of the pillow main body 12 is 100 mm at the maximum. The pillow body portion 12 has a roundness at the boundary with the support portion 20. The radius of this roundness can be set at 20 mm. These numerical values are merely examples, and can be changed as appropriate.

  The pillow main body 12 includes a ceiling surface portion 14 for placing the head 4 and a bottom surface portion 16 located on the opposite side of the ceiling surface portion 14. The bottom surface portion 16 is placed on a mattress or the like for installing the pillow 10. The ceiling surface portion 14 has a flat surface that faces the ceiling when the bottom surface portion 16 is placed on a mattress or the like.

The bottom surface portion 16 has inclined surfaces 16a and 16b that reduce the thickness of the pillow main body portion from the end sides 15a and 15b in the longitudinal direction toward the central side 15c in the longitudinal direction. The angle θ ₁ formed by the inclined surfaces 16a and 16b is preferably set to 140 ° to 160 °. That is, the end side 15a, a straight line and the inclined surface 16a, the angle theta ₂ of 16b connecting 15b is preferably set to 10 ° to 20 °.

Generally, the weight of the head 4 is about 13% of the body weight. For example, a person with a weight of about 50 kg has a head 4 of about 6.5 kg, so that when the sinking is taken into consideration, the angle θ ₂ formed by the straight line connecting the edges 15a and 15b and the inclined surfaces 16a and 16b is 10 ° to It was found that setting the angle to 20 ° can prevent the neck 6 from wrinkling.

  The support part 20 is connected to the pillow body part 12 so as to support the neck part 6 when the head 4 of the user 2 is placed, and has a substantially rectangular shape in plan view. The support portion 20 has an inclined surface whose thickness decreases from the pillow body portion 12 side to the opposite side of the pillow body portion 12 side, and for placing the shoulder portion 8 from the neck portion 6. It has a recess 22 formed.

  The angle of the inclined surface of the support portion 20 is set to approximately 20 °. This approximately 20 ° is set in consideration of the weight of the sinking because the scapula averages approximately 30 ° forwardly when standing.

  The support portion 20 has a length in the longitudinal direction of 500 mm, which is the same as that of the pillow body portion 12, and a length in the short-side direction is 240 mm. The thickness of the support part 20 is 70 mm, which is the thickest on the pillow body part 12 side. These numerical values are merely examples, and can be changed as appropriate.

  The concave portion 22 is a space region formed by cutting out from the support portion 20, and the shape and dimensions when the space region is made of a material having flexibility similar to that of the pillow body portion 12 will be described. . It has an inclined surface whose thickness decreases from the pillow body 12 side toward the opposite side of the pillow body 12 side. The length of the bottom surface in the longitudinal direction is 400 mm, and the length of the bottom surface in the short direction is 170 mm. The pillow main body 12 side is the thickest, 40 mm, and the thickness decreases toward the opposite side. These numerical values are merely examples, and can be changed as appropriate.

  Then, the effect | action of the said structure is demonstrated. People may feel unwell during their daily lives. For example, there are insomnia, sleeping mistakes (muscle mistakes), neurological symptoms, fifty shoulders, etc., and treatments such as massage and manipulative treatment relieve symptoms such as pain, but once again a similar daily life returns You may feel the same problem.

  When the cause of this malfunction was studied, it was found that many were caused by pillows used for sleep. Therefore, although it is demanded to take a comfortable sleep to prevent body trouble such as stiff shoulders, the pillow 10 is suitable for taking a comfortable sleep and will be described in detail below.

  Before the user 2 lies down and places the head 4 on the pillow body 12, the angle formed by the inclined surfaces 16 a and 16 b of the bottom surface 16 is 140 ° to 160 ° as shown in FIG. Thus, the bottom surface portion 16 is in a floating state.

  However, when the head 4 is placed, as shown in FIG. 2B, the shape of the pillow main body 12 is deformed so as to wrap the head 4 with the weight of the head 4. As a result, the user 2 feels like the head 4 is sunk and wrapped, and can comfortably sleep.

  When lying on the side, the head 4 is moved to the end of the pillow main body 12 (in this example, the end 15b) as shown in FIG. At this time, since there is no gap such as a mattress, the sinking is only due to the material of the fabric, and the sinking is not so much as the central part (the position corresponding to the central side 15c). You can keep it from passing.

  In the above description, the head 4 is moved to the end of the pillow main body 12 when sleeping in the sideways direction. In this case, it is possible to obtain a feeling that the head 4 is sunk by the recess of the bottom surface portion 16 and is thereby wrapped in the pillow body portion 12.

  Moreover, since the recessed part 22 of the support part 20 for supporting the neck part 6 and the shoulder part 8 is formed and the pillow 10 is covered so that the neck part 6 and the shoulder part 8 are wrapped in this recessed part 22, There is an advantage that it is possible to sleep without damaging the shoulder part or shoulder joint.

  As described above, according to the pillow 10, the head 4, the neck 6, the shoulder 8, and the scapula of the user 2 are supported at the same time. You can sleep easily.

  In the case of a conventional pillow that supports only the head, there is a problem that when sleeping in a horizontal direction, the shoulder located below is crushed and the joint is compressed to cause pain. However, according to the pillow 10, as mentioned above, since the head 4, neck 6, shoulder 8 and scapula of the user 2 are simultaneously supported, the body pressure can be dispersed, and it is possible to prevent sleeping and sleeping. It has the remarkable effect of becoming.

  Further, the neck portion 6 is supported by the rounded portion of the pillow body portion 12 and has a feeling of fit, so that the body can be kept in a weak state. Furthermore, the pillow 10 has a merit that the ceiling surface portion 14 is flat and has no irregularities, so that the resistance for turning over can be reduced, and it is easy to turn over.

  The inventor investigated the evaluation after the pillow 10 was used by many users 2, and found that "sleeping", "sleeping well", "comfortable to sleep", "difficult to wrinkle around the neck", "good ventilation" It was found that there were many favorable evaluations such as "I improved my stiff shoulders", "I was able to sleep with my shoulders out of my shoulders", "I can sleep with my shoulders out of my shoulders", "I can sleep well even on the back of my neck", "Easy to sleep sideways".

2 users, 4 heads, 6 necks, 8 shoulders, 10 pillows, 12 pillow bodies, 14 ceiling surfaces, 15a, 15b edges, 15c central sides, 16 bottom surfaces, 16a, 16b inclined surfaces, 20 support parts 22 Recess.
